More people are receiving more goods at their homes than ever before as e-commerce continues to be the shopping method of choice. According to data recently released by the U.S. Commerce Department, e-commerce sales grew 15.8 percent in the second quarter of 2016.

The last time I placed an online order, the products arrived on my doorstep in less than 18 hours. Five years ago, same-day or next-day delivery would have seemed incredible or even impossible. Now it’s expected.

To meet rising consumer expectations – delivery and otherwise – retailers need warehouses. And lots of them. There’s probably a fulfillment warehouse located near you right now.
